[vehicle approaching]
[indistinct chatter]
Is this Man Singh's house?
[child crying]
[sobbing]
Priya Das?
What are you doing here?
Where is your PSO?
Ms. Priya.
[sighs]
Aunty, Man Singh uncle?
He must have gone to meet your father.
Everything was about Mr. Das in this house.
"Mr. Das wants fish today"
"I have to go to Jengaburu tomorrow with Mr. Das"
Considered him his mentor.
Took his life in return.
What do you want now?
Come on.
Let's go, Madam. Get up.
Come on. Let's go.
Ms. Priya, wait.
Man Singh was murdered.
A response from the Naxals (Rebel group) to the appeal you made.
Go ahead! Why don't you do another press conference for this?
Go appeal to them!
Man Singh Uncle called me to meet him.
Why didn't you inform the police?
He would have been alive if you had informed us.
Be more responsible Ma'am.
Please.
Why do you think we are here?
To protect you.
Tarla. Please go and drop her to her house.
[vehicle halts]
[car door closes]
Madam, why did the police take you?
[sighs]
How did the police take you?
What happened, Madam?
(Police Chatter on Walkie)
Madam, you should have told me. I would have come along.
This is not London.
Madam?
[birds chirping]
[playing music]
[Odia song]
[whistles]
[tyres screeching]
Are you drunk? Why are you driving like this?
Shut up!
Come.
[tempo door creaking]
[footfalls]
[gun fire]
Run.
[sighs]
Come, come...
Move.
[gun fire & scream]
Get up.
[clanking]
[indistinct chatter]
Kadey, there is no water inside..
[sound of water trickling]
Chamak, flip the tanker.
Flip the tanker.
[rattle]
Come on, let's go.
Come on.
[vehicle approaching]
[tyres screeching]
-Come on, boys. Check inside. -Okay, Sir.
Come on, hurry up.
[clangour]
Get everything from the tanker. Stash it in the car.
Yes, Sir.
Wait That's the Police. Let's move! Go, go.
[engine reviving]
[car door closes]
[vehicle approaching]
[tyres screeching]
Hurry up. Check the entire area.
[footfalls]
What the fuck...
-Rathi, check. -Yes, Sir.
Sir, the tanks are filled with arms and ammunition.
-Kumar. -Yes, Sir.
Whoever this consignment belongs to, couldn't have gone too far.
Make two teams and search.
And seize these immediately.
[humming]
[woman in pain]
Tell Tobu to tie a yellow scarf in Keonjhar.
[running water]
Water!
Hey... No!
It's poisonous!
[clack]
[birds chirping]
[door creaking]
[horn blaring]
[tense music]
When did it happen?
Did people die?
Okay.
Madam?
Please forgive me, dear.
I couldn't tell you anything in front of the police.
These are some files.
Your father asked us to keep them safely.
Actually, your father went missing alone.
My husband never went to Keonjhar.
Then why did the police lie to me?
That I don't know.
Dhruv Kannan. Your father's student?
-Do you know him? -Yes.
He would come over to meet my husband sometimes.
He is a reliable guy.
Aunty, Rao uncle is there to help me.
No, Priya. Maybe you don't know.
It was Dhruv Kannan who got your father out of jail.
All of this is a joke to you right?
People are being shot dead, and you wander off alone.
Wait a second.
Who was shot dead?
The Naxals have become active again.
I just received the news,
a tanker full of arms was found in Keonjhar.
The police had to open fire.
What?
You cannot wander outside in a situation like this.
-I went to see Lakshmi aunty... -Madam.
I am your PSO.
I can sense the threat from afar
Now, even if you go to the toilet, I will wait outside.
Is that clear?
[birds chirping]
Ram, I needed some help.
Yeah, tell me.
Can you find an IAS officer's address for me?
[engine reviving]
[metal door creaking & opens]
Sir.
Mr. Secretary,
What was so urgent?
Did you hear about the incident in Keonjhar today?
Naxal activity has increased drastically.
[chair scraping]
Whenever they are upto something in Jengaburu,
the Naxals suddenly come into picture?
Mr. Secretary, Just tell me one thing.
Why are all JNU Students Naxal sympathisers?
And don't forget, people were gunned down in Jengaburu.
Children, women were not spared either.
And you think it's a cover up?
Sir, we all know who benefits from Professor Das' disappearance.
[creaking chair]
I heard Professor Das stopped talking to you.
Sir, if tomorrow they start inquiring about the Jengaburu case again,
What are you going to do?
[exhales]
Mr. Secretary, The document that holds the truth
has your signature on it too.
I am not afraid of the inquiry anymore.
If you don't fear it, you will suffer in it!
Speak up!
Sir, let me go.
I don't know...
Sir, let me go.
[scream]
Did he say anything yet?
There is a foreigner in Bhubaneswar.
Monica.
-We will find her. -Any pictures, or any evidence?
I don't think so.
[indistinct chatter]
[horn blaring]
Here is the password.
Use this phone to take pictures and videos
I had already told you. I will need an advance.
You know how risky it is to get out of the mines.
-How much? -30,000 INR
Call me on this number once the job is done.
What are all these pictures for?
Eat the mangoes, why are you counting the trees?
Where will I find mangoes in winter?
Please transfer 35,000 more.
That's a lot.
No, it's not.
What I am doing is illegal and risky.
And why do you need those videos?
I represent a small mining company.
Dutta Mines is our competition.
[keypad clanking]
[line crackling]
[indistinct voice]
Increase security on all check post at Keonjhar highway.
Beta 129 report to headquarter. Over.
There was a Naxal attack in Keonjhar.
Beta 12 report to headquarter. Over.
Send unit 13 and 14 to Keonjhar.
Is this connection safe for Video?
[chatter on Walkie]
Beatrice, what have you found out about Basu's murder.
His burnt body was found in Cuttack.
He remained unidentified for days. His sister identified him yesterday.
He must have stumbled onto something really big,
if they were willing to go that far.
How do we get hold of that information?
He was investigating the Dutta mines.
Everything leads to the mines in Jengaburu.
Yeah... a friend of Basu's has gone missing as well. Professor Das.
[typing]
[exhales heavily]
So one's dead, one's disappeared.
Ohh...
His daughter is here.
She's just done a press conference.
You're right. People are either dying or disappearing.
I need you safe.
There is no more we can do on the ground.
It's time to start hacking their systems.
I want you to use the technology.
Don't move anywhere physically at all. Stay put.
I will be in touch.
Murari
Ganesh.
Come on.
Hey... what happened?
What did I do?
What happened?
Naxal attack was reported outside the Keonjhar district.
They tried to smuggle arms,
ammunition and explosives inside their area.
These people should be shot dead.
Everything was fine for three years. I wonder what happened now?
-See. -The police are investigating.
Brother, give me 10 kg lentils also.
Getting it, sister.
Can you give me a hand, brother?
[car door creaking]
[engine reviving]
Here, your tea.
[phone ringing]
Sir. Sir.
Sir.
Four missed calls.
[splash]
Lata.
-Did you get everything? -I did.
[vehicle approaching]
Stop.
[whistles]
Quick, quick.
Sit... Sit.
You shouldn't have made her walk so far.
[woman in pain]
Oh God.
[bird squeal]
[woman in pain]
[breathing heavily]
It's done.
Pass me the needle.
Almost done.
It's done.
Will she recover?
Don't make her walk.
I would like to appeal to the Naxal Leader Kadey
to release my father, Swatantra Das.
I promise he will retire from activism.
The police have become very alert.
It may be hard for us to come again.
It's a matter of a few more days.
[chatter on Walkie]
Mr. Rawat, the Naxal influence has reached all the way to the mines.
Are you telling me this or trying to justify it.
There have been no Naxal attacks here in the last three years.
[birds chirping]
[wireless crackle]
Only the Naxals use arrows, Mr. Rawat.
And bullets?
Who used the bullets?
Whose tank was it?
This is no less than being on the border.
[birds chirping]
I noticed some people in uniforms.
There was a tussle.
Whoever raided the tanker, actually came for the water.
[vehicle approaching]
Water?
Dynamite, guns, ammunition.
And you are concerned about water.
[car door closes]
Rawat Sir. How are you?
Amazing.
[laughs]
It's a good thing no one died.
Otherwise, the CPF would be at the receiving end as always.
[birds chirping]
[chuckles]
How does Bhubaneshwar Police's jurisdiction,
extend all the way to Keonjhar?
It doesn't, Sir.
We are sent here.
IGP (Inspector General of Police) Sir sent us here and here we are.
These arms were probably routed from Bangladesh.
So you will need to follow the Arms act along with the Security Act (NSA).
Probe an inquiry.
Fantastic, Sir.
You know the entire procedure.
Why don't you join the police?
Anyway.
Sir, it was Naxals.
They are getting desperate. We don't need an inquiry.
It's not confirmed as a Naxal incident yet.
I am here to give you the confirmation, Sir.
It's a message from IG Sir.
He has sent his gratitude for your help.
But the police will take over the investigation from here.
Your responsibility is now ours.
Don't worry.
Come on. Pick everything up.
Come on.
Carefully. Don't worry.
Pick everything, son.
[metal clanking]
[car honk]
[papers rustle]
[horn honking]
Madam. Who is Dhruv Kannan?
He was my Dad's student in Delhi.
[chuckles]
People thought he was my Dad's son.
He used to take care of Dad a lot.
[vehicle halts]
[car door opens]
[airline announcement]
Is Dhruv Kannan home?
He's gone out.
Where?
I don't know.
Give me his number.
Note it down.
Please fasten your seat belts. lift the tray tables.
Keep your chair straights, and the windows uncovered.
The number you're calling is unreachable.
Please call after some time.
Bhubaneshwar has changed, hasn't it?
Yes, Madam.
In fact, people even own private planes now.
[car door closes]
How come?
Mining, Madam.
When the earth yields gold,
people mint money even from thin air.
[clink]
[indistinct voice]
[sizzling]
[glass creaking]
Vegetable Stew?
Yes.
[buzzing insects]
Madam. Do people eat this in London too?
It's Dad's favourite.
I see.
Even in Delhi, he used to buy vegetables and cook this himself.
[buzzing insects]
Madam? What's wrong?
Do you think Kadey is feeding Dad properly?
Of course Madam!
Your father may be in pain,
but not hungry.
Odisha is blessed by Lord Jagannath.
No one sleeps hungry.
Madam, What's that tattoo? I have never seen anything like this before.
Kadey also has one.
He is also a Bondria
You know Kadey?
You are a Bondria?
A Tribal?
By God, Madam.
You don't look like one.
Why?
What should tribals look like?
No.
Have you ever lived with the Bondria people?
I used to visit during the holidays when Mom was alive.
And then... Bondria identity just became a tag for me.
[vehicle arriving]
-Sir. Sir. -Come on.
-Sir. Sir. -Sir...
Please. Please. One by one.
Sir, Yesterday an appeal was made to Naxals,
And today we found a tanker filled with arms. What's going on?
We didn't make any appeal to to the Naxals.
The police have no connection with the press conference,
done by Professor Das' daughter.
Sir, would you say that Bhubhneshwar is under Naxal threat?
What actions is the
-police taking in Professor Das' case? -Please, one by one.
Sir, when will Kadey be arrested?
Soon.
-Sir... -If he is not arrested
then he will definitely be shot at sight.
I will not negotiate with Naxals. Please.
-Please. -Sir. Sir...
IG Sir has given a statement.
[birds chirping]
Shit.
Ram.
Yes.
Maybe Bondria people know something about where Dad could be?
[birds chirping]
[line ringing]
Hello, Priya. How are you?
Good.
I needed a favour.
Yeah, tell me.
I wanted to meet Bondria people.
I was wondering if you could tell me where they have been resettled.
I will ask Minister Tigga.
He can take you there.
[horn honking]
And then what happened?
The Prince and Snow White got married
And they lived happily ever after.
[chair scraping]
[footfalls]
[door creaking]
Dhruv Kannan?
Avantika Mehta.
-Kumar. It's Mrs. Kumar. -Sorry.
-Come in.
-Long time. -How are you? Good.
[laughs]
-How are you? -Very Good.
Facebook, Messenger now connects friends.
Always, thank God.
Pihu, meet Dhruv.
He was my friend in JNU.
-Hi, Dhruv. -Hello.
Uncle. Uncle.
Uncle.
Come.
[birds chirping]
I actually needed,
little specific information on Jengaburu mines,
in Keonjhar.
There was some kind of
-controversy around those mines? -Correct, right.
Actually, it's owned by Dutta Aluminium and Bauxite.
It turns out that nobody has access over there.
That's why I wanted some information to know more about these people.
Is everything alright?
Such keen interest in mining.
Are you planning to take over my job?
No, it's not like that.
Avantika, do you remember Professor Das?
Yes, of course.
The great professor Das!
He was the Head of Anthropology Department in our college.
So professor Das is missing actually.
Really?
[music]
Don't worry, Dhruv. I will try and help you.
Give me a couple of days.
I'll get their internal audit files.
Thank you so much.
Be safe.
Yes.
[loud music]
Come.
[birds chirping]
[vehicle approaching]
Priya, look around. This is all Tribal area.
Earlier we could see elephants here.
-But-- -Mr. Tigga
Kadey was very close to Dad.
Then why would he kidnap Dad?
[exhales]
Your father has a massive influence in all this.
Do you know, Kadey could have become a national hockey player.
But your father's activism intervened.
[coughs]
So...
So, Kadey burnt down his own village?
It's not as simple as you think.
You don't know.
Did you know they found bauxite in Jengaburu?
But your father, Professor Das, was always against mining.
He provoked the local people.
And Kadey, under your father's influence, became a Naxal (Rebel).
[sighs]
One night these Naxals surrounded the entire village.
And when the police arrived,
Kadey and his men opened fire and killed 22 people.
It was us! Who resettled the entire village.
We did a decent job at it.
But at what cost? Innocent lives.
[exhales]
I know.
Dad's ideology
is a bit confrontational.
[exhales]
Priya...
Did the journalists in the conference ask you anything wrong yesterday?
Tell me, don't these Bondria people want good education,
Better healthcare
And a comfortable life for themselves?
[indistinct chatter]
Long live George Tigga!
Priya. He is the leader here.
He knows. a little Hindi.
He has known you as a kid.
Right?
Yes.
Aren't you Sumati's daughter?
Amazing. He even knows your mother's name.
[playing song on radio]
You used to come to the village as a kid.
Where is Kadey?
Kadey...
Priya... Let's not scare them?
These are your own people.
And Kadey killed their people.
-Remember? -So there is no fear of Kadey here?
There is.
But, we are progressing now!
Tigga Sir is providing us with everything.
Thank you for coming here, Sir.
[music]
See... I've made arrangements for your stay at the guest house.
We cannot travel at night. It's dangerous.
So let's go.
[music]
Madam. I thought you would be happy to be here.
[indistinct chatter]
Why?
Did you see a familiar face?
I don't know, Ram.
Something didn't seem right.
I couldn't recognise anyone.
And none of them have the Bondria tattoo.
A lot has changed in a few years.
[vehicle halts]
[line ringing]
[cellphone rings]
-Priya. -Where are you?
I've been trying to reach you. Your phone was unreachable.
I even went to your house.
I was in Delhi for some work. Are you alright?
Dhruv, who is Dr. Panigrahi?
Why do you ask?
I have some medical reports that belong to his patients.
Dad gave them to Man Singh uncle.
[birds chirping]
Maybe Dad was investigating this.
Do you know him? You know, Dr. Panigrahi?
[crow cawing]
Sir, I run a one-rupee clinic.
I need your help.
Infant death is increasing here.
There are also instances of Lung Infection,
Skin infection.
[papers rustle]
Yellow vomit.
Take a look, Sir.
This seems more like an agenda to me, doctor.
You must have an agenda behind running this clinic.
First you treat people for one rupee only
and then you top it up with your ideology.
I understand where you are going with this.
Munna! Get me a cup of tea!
[phone ringing]
Mr. Kannan, What do you want now?
Why are you troubling me now?
I told you not to bother me.
Priya is coming to meet you.
She found some of your medical reports. She was asking for your address.
And I told her.
[child crying]
[horn blaring]
[buzzing insects]
[door closes]
[dog barking]
What's wrong with you?
Didn't you take your Blood Pressure medicine?
I did.
Then why are you fidgeting around?
Are you not going to the clinic?
She shouldn't have come here.
Who?
[inhale]
Priya.
Priya's presence has made the situation more dangerous.
Understand.
[dog barking]
[birds chirping]
Good morning, Madam.
You are up so early.
Madam...
Madam?
[tyres screeching]
Madam!
Priya Madam just left for somewhere.
Yes.
No, she just left.
There is someone called Dr. Panigrahi in Keonjhar.
Yes.
It was his patients
